My Review:
5.0 out of 5 stars A tangle like no other
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2026
Format: Kindle
This story is so tangled up with some who do anything for money, some who have very selfish wants rather than needs, and evildoers mixed in with those who actually love humanity. Passionate love permeates the soul. The story ties up almost perfectly, except for one man whose daughter fought cancer, and a son with the true love of his life. Maybe this book has a book two coming?
